STUDENT SUPPORT
from Student Handbook
Tutors
Students in need of some extra help in Humanities and Math will be assigned a volunteer tutor who will work with them during the school year. Tutors play an integral role in ensuring students are academically prepared to succeed in high school and college. Tutors tailor their work to the students’ needs, targeting their specific areas of growth to build their skills and confidence.
Mental Health Resources
Beacon Academy prioritizes the well-being of the “whole student;” this includes social-emotional health. If a student has a personal concern (e.g. stress, anxiety, sadness, reaction to a family loss, friendship difficulties), they can reach out to their advisor; Sarah Smith, Director of Student Support Services; or Dr. Deb Offner, Consulting Psychologist. Each of these adults is ready to support individual students and -- when indicated -- confer with parents and caregivers and provide referrals to community-based mental health resources. Parents and caregivers should also feel free to reach out to any of the above adults with concerns about their child.
